Key result
Long-term remote monitoring using wireless HealthPatch sensors in seniors showed high accuracy, with mean absolute errors of <3 beats/min, <3 breaths/min, and <1.2 °C compared to reference devices.

Does a disposable wireless patch sensor accurately monitor vital signs and falls in senior subjects in a home setting?
A wireless patch sensor demonstrated high accuracy for vital sign monitoring and low false positive rates for fall detection in seniors over a 50-day period in a home setting.
Nandakumar Selvaraj (2014) conducted an observational in Senior subjects (n=76). HealthPatch™ sensors vs. Reference devices was evaluated on Mean absolute errors for heart rate, respiration rate and skin temperature. Long-term remote monitoring using wireless HealthPatch sensors in seniors showed high accuracy, with mean absolute errors of <3 beats/min, <3 breaths/min, and <1.2 °C compared to reference devices.
